Abstract

The process for preparing a refinery feedstock from black liquor soap comprising adding excess alcohol (preferably methanol) to black liquor soap. Acid is then added to the mixture to drop the pH of the mixture to approximately 2 to convert carboxylate salt of fatty and resin acids to the free fatty and resin acids. In the reaction process, the free fatty and resin acids react with the alcohol, with the aid of the acid catalyst, to yield the desired ester products. The resulting feedstock can be distilled or refined to yield sterols and related alcohols, biodiesel and other fuels.

Embodiment
Sets forth specific details is understood to provide to those skilled in the art more completely in whole following specification sheets.Yet, may not show or specifically describe known key element, unnecessarily fuzzy with the content of avoiding exposing.Therefore, specification sheets and accompanying drawing should be thought illustrative rather than restrictive, sense.
The soap production refining material that can skim by the slurrying liquid from chemical pulp mills.Resinousness material in pine tree and other species is made of fat and resinous acid and sterol and related alcohols.During the chemical pulping factory boiling of paper pulp, fat and resin acid soaps change into soda soap.Black liquor soap is the resin that produced during the chemical pulping process and the sodium salt of lipid acid.The contriver has created from Black liquor soap and has removed sodium ion and make resin and fatty acid esterification, generation be used for the method for further purified raw material single container.
This method is mixed Black liquor soap with methyl alcohol, ethanol or Virahol, afterwards with sulfuric acid or other strong acid acidifying.Described acid is used for removing sodium ion from soap, and lipid acid and resinous acid and alcohol generation catalytic esterification.The sterol and the related alcohols that are present in the soap also produce ester with fat and resinous acid reaction.The gained ester is not the final product of expectation during the refining material is produced; Therefore, can add excessive alcohol to improve the productive rate of product.Adding excessive alcohol may need to distill to reclaim excessive alcohol so that this method is feasible economically.The gained mixture can further handle then and by distillation, filter or other refiningly carries out refining to produce other products.
During the chemical pulping process, support burning until them by the evaporation concentration black liquor solid.Then they are burnt in the recovery boiler that steam is provided for technology and electrical production.Because the hydrophobic property of fat and resinous acid compound in the black liquor, along with the percentile increase of solids in the black liquor, they separate with resin acid soaps as fat.If do not remove described soap, but their foul evaporation equipment surfaces then cause consuming the higher plant capacity that is used to evaporate thus and under extreme case, cause production loss.A spot of pulp mill attempts by with mixing completely soap being remained in the solution to avoid this problem.Yet if recovery boiler is a production bottleneck, this causes lower pulp production rates.
Standard practices in most chemical pulp processes is:
(a) remove the soap in the black liquor and be translated into Yatall MA or
(b) make this black liquor maintenance thorough mixing and the described soap that in recovery boiler, burns.
When chemical pulp mills is wished to improve production rate and recovery boiler capacity and is restriction, the removing and be preferred selection of soap to the conversion of Yatall MA.
In case remove soap, then usually it be transported to chemical plant and be processed into crude tall oil by acidifying.Below reaction is typical:
R-COONa+H 2SO 4→R-COOH+Na 2SO 4
(R=C2～C26) wherein
The contriver has invented the single stage method that makes the saponification compound esterification in the black liquor with pure and mild acid catalysis herein, directly produces useful refining material from Black liquor soap thus.
In the presence of the acid of catalytic amount, carboxylic acid produces ester with the alcohol reaction easily.This process is called esterification and is described as follows:
RCOOH+R′OH←H +→RCOOR′+H 2O
(R=C2～C26) wherein
There is particularly advantageous in methyl alcohol during the acidifying of soap, because sterol competition fat in itself and the soap and the esteratic site on the resinous acid.In order to contrast, at the production period of Yatall MA, the esterification of fat and resinous acid and sterol forms big organic molecule, and described big organic molecule is not suitable for being included in the Yatall MA and usually and turns back to pulp mill's liquid system with residual spent acid.Methyl alcohol and this response competition limit the formation of big organic molecule.As a result, improved and can be used for the organic amount of further purified, and the organic amount that is back to factory is minimized.Be subjected to the factory of recovery boiler restriction to utilize the method according to this invention can realize that further output increases.And, with make soap be converted into Yatall MA after the production biofuel compare, the refining material that derives from soap has much higher fatty acid ester (biofuel) productive rate.And, owing to do not consume sterol, and attempt to obtain sterol and compare from Yatall MA, further distillation can be reclaimed obviously more sterol.
In this manual, chemical pulp mills refers to wooden pulp mill, and it uses the alkaline sulphide solution (white liquid) that contains sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphite in wooden digestion process.
Specifically, the contriver has developed a kind of novel method of the soap production refining material that is skimmed by the black liquor from chemical pulp mills.Resinousness material in pine tree (pinus contorta) and alpine fir (Luo Ji mountain fir) white spruce (whitespruce) (white spruce, picea glauca) and other seeds is made of fat and resinous acid and sterol and related alcohols.
During the chemical steaming of the paper pulp that constitutes by these materials, fat and resinous acid saponification or change into soda soap.The Black liquor soap that in the chemical pulping process, produces thereby contain sterol and the sodium salt of related alcohols and resin and lipid acid.Soap separates with water during the processing of black liquor.
Chemistry from Black liquor soap production refining material
The traditional route of production of biodiesel is included in the base-catalyzed transesterification of the tri-glyceride of finding in fat or the vegetables oil.Glycerine is the by product of this reaction.
In this subject methods, the free fatty acids (as carboxylate salt) that will be present in the black liquor is converted into the refining material with alcohol by acid catalyzed esterification.First step accomplishes easily, promptly approximates 2 acid and makes the carboxylate salt of lipid acid be converted into free fatty acids by adding the pH value.In this example, use sulfuric acid and carry out according to following reaction:
2R-COO-Na+H 2SO 4→2R-COOH+Na 2SO 4
(R=C2～C26) wherein
When carrying out this reaction in the presence of methyl alcohol, esterification is carried out to form refining material of the present invention according to following reaction:
R-COOH+CH 3OH→R-COOCH 3+H 2O
(R=C2～C26) wherein
Total single container processes can be write:
RCOONa+R’OH+HX→RCOOR’+NaX+H 2O
(wherein R=C2～C26 and X are positively charged ion)
Each illustrative embodiments is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.It is illustrative and not restrictive that embodiment disclosed herein and accompanying drawing are intended to be considered to.Fig. 1 explanation is according to the schema of basic skills of the present invention, and it comprises to Black liquor soap and adds methyl alcohol and sulfuric acid derive from soap with generation refining material successively.Fig. 2 derives from the schema of the refining material of soap, and this refining material that derives from soap is produced as shown in fig. 1 and experienced distillation of downstream solids separation and product and refining subsequently.Methyl alcohol, waste water, sterol and related alcohols, gasoline and other fuel and biofuel that distillation and/or refining will obtain reclaiming.
Compare with the refining material that depends on the season of growth, will stablize with consistent more by the refining material production of this method based on traditional plant.This method is also utilized existing pulp mill equipment, therefore, with needs steam is installed and is taken place to compare with known green field (greenfield) biodiesel plants of sour equipment, and the capital occupancy significantly still less.
The selection of acid is to consider for convenience, rather than necessary.Sulfuric acid is generally used for the dissolving pulp processing and this can easily obtain.Methyl alcohol can need not to be unique alcohol that can be used for production refining material; Ethanol and Virahol also can produce spendable refining material.
The advantage of the method according to this invention is:
1. from pulp mill byproduct production refining material, provide thus the refining material of easy annual supply.
2. reduced by the caused resin of the tall oil process of routine and aliphatic acid and sterol and related alcohols Esterification and the loss of yield that causes.
3. during when the further refining of gained raw material and as the fuel of substitute fossil fuels, reduce the greenhouse Gas discharging.
4. Black liquor soap is mixed with methyl alcohol, thereby make its easier pumping and mixing.
5. with respect to the production of tall oil, the productive rate of refining material is improved, because excessive by adding Methyl alcohol the side reaction of fat and resin acid and sterol and related alcohols is significantly reduced. Sterol Productive rate also be improved.
6. the cost that passes through this method production refining material is with very low cost raw material (Black liquor soap) beginning.Black liquor soap does not have value to factory usually.It is for waste product and present handling problem.Other has much higher cost from Yatall MA production method of bio-diesel oil, because the previous processing of Yatall MA has been added value to it.
Though some illustrative aspects and embodiment below have been discussed, have been those skilled in the art will recognize that its some modification, displacement, interpolation and sub-portfolio.Therefore, the claim of following appended claims and introducing afterwards is interpreted as comprising all this modifications, displacement, interpolation and sub-portfolio in its true spirit and scope.
